My spouse worked in a vet emergency clinic. A lot of animals came in for intestinal blockages. It rarely ended well. Best case scenario, the owner realized early enough that something was going wrong, and they had enough money to pay for an expensive abdominal surgery to remove the blockage. The more usual scenario was that it was too late by far, and the pet had to be euthanized.
They had one horrific story of a dog swallowing fishhooks; the owner took the dog home AMA after the vet was unable to get the hooks out without surgery. It almost certainly ended up dying a horrific, agonizing death.
Ponytail holders are fun, not food!
My dog had formed a taste for tampons.
Her last visit to the vet they removed 6.
She got a trip to the vet, everyone loves her, she got attention and treats and all she had to do was eat trash.
The lesson she learned was “eat more trash” ….
Plain dry ones, or with delicious meat flavoring?
May I suggest a lidded bathroom can?
It happened while she was at my brother in laws house, not at my house.
Twice….
Or just close keep the bathroom door closed.
Dunno about them but we keep the cat’s litterbox in the bathroom
That’s a good point I hadn’t considered.
